Single Family Residence In Englewood

REFRESHED ISLAND RETREAT WITH DEEDED BEACH AND DOCK ACCESS ON MANASOTA KEY! Enjoy the best of Florida’s coastal lifestyle in this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with an additional sunroom/den, tucked into the quaint Pelican Shores neighborhood on Manasota Key. With deeded access to the Gulf beaches just across the street and community dock access on Lemon Bay, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy both boating and beachside living without the expense and restrictions of a condominium.

Recently refreshed inside and out, the home features updated flooring throughout, refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, and an approximately 264 square feet of enclosed sunroom/den space with hurricane-impact windows. This bright, versatile room provides the perfect setting for a home office, additional sitting area, hobby room, or relaxing retreat surrounded by tropical views.

Inside, the open great-room design features vaulted ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The refreshed kitchen offers white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and generous storage. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, private bathroom, and direct access to the backyard, while the comfortable guest bedroom and updated second bathroom provide welcoming accommodations for visitors.

Constructed of concrete block with an elevated slab foundation and durable metal roof, the home combines classic Florida coastal character with practical features.

Outside, the oversized, approximately quarter-acre lot is a standout feature, offering far more outdoor space than many island properties. The fully fenced yard has been enhanced with updated tropical landscaping, creating an inviting setting with room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, pets, or a future pool. A substantial **16-by-20-foot storage shed** provides exceptional additional space for beach equipment, fishing gear, bicycles, kayaks, and all the essentials of coastal living.

The real advantage is the LOCATION and ACCESS. Pelican Shores is a small, established island neighborhood offering deeded beach access to the Gulf and community dock access along Lemon Bay, where residents can enjoy fishing, boating, kayaking, and access to the Gulf through Stump Pass. Spend the morning on the beach, an afternoon exploring the waterways, and the evening enjoying the island’s local restaurants and waterfront gathering spots.

Adding to the area’s appeal, a major **Manasota Key beach re-nourishment project is planned**, with construction currently anticipated to begin in late 2026. This shoreline restoration initiative is designed to replenish sand and restore portions of the island’s beach and dune system.

Whether you’re searching for a full-time island residence, seasonal getaway, or coastal investment opportunity, this refreshed home offers an attractive combination of updated living spaces, generous outdoor space, and access to both the BEACH and BAY. Experience the laid-back charm of Manasota Key, where life moves at a different pace and the water is always close by.
